That stuff is in entirely the wrong order:

Bebop is the greatest... Naruto and Bleach are not worth it if you are older than 15. Too much crap in the middle of relatively generic fights.

Darker than Black is indeed rather sexy. And the music is more stuff by yoko kanno (who did cowboy bebop).

Champloo is also better than stuff like naruto/bleach... it's basically bebop, but set in the samurai era and with god awful music (whereas bebop is like sex for my ears).

Samurai champloo was really dissapointing to me, I started watching it straight after bebop because I guess i was still hungry for more of the same. But the whole series just lacks drive imo. The characters never really develop anywhere, and the plot is too disjointed. Which I suppose you could argue for bebop but bebop's characters brought the substance. The whole anime of champloo feels like too much style and little substance. Also darker than black in a way is like bebop but for some reason I never really grew to like it as much. I still enjoyed it but imo it suffered from the same flaws champloo did.

Also naruto is ok when your still starting to watch anime, but really the number of episodes of a series will let you know the quality 9 times out of 10 -_-

Im not saying bebop and champloo arnt good stuff Im saying they are much more mood orientated. Ive met people who have seething loathing for both of those two but naruto generally only gets boring or lame thrown at it. The people who told me they loathed those shows had no real reason which is why I put them in right mood.

Also as a foot note Bleach and Naruto best watched with DB subs shame they arnt doing their thing any more, I wish crunchy subs had taken those guys in. Those guys could turn even the lamest stories into something freaking awesome to watch with some creative license (probably least accurate but I still stake my claim they are the best and will defend it with all my nerdom). Some of the bests where their trolls random episode with completely different story over the top with subs
